It used to be awesome to get them those faves, to get that pat on the back, but now it's become a real nuisance and I have really grown tired of it. &nbsp;The worst thing is what I call drive by faving, where a user goes through your whole gallery and faves EVERY SINGLE PIECE of art.<br /><br />I would rather have a single thoughtful/critical comment than a lots and lots of faves. Faves really are practically just "good job" message over and over again. &nbsp;It's nice I guess, but I really get nothing from them.<br />From comments I can actually learn something.

As some of you may know, I have a second deviantart account (Tsususame) where I posted some random other than paleo stuff (Creatures, manga/anime sketches speedpaints etc.). I originally started the other account because I had begun &nbsp;drawing stuff that was deviating from my normal repertoire and theme of this account, namely natural history illustrations. &nbsp;I was also sort of afraid that people would react negatively if I all of the sudden started posting the random stuff there. After all, they had probably started watching my works Return of Aumatterasuhttp://dinomaniac.deviantart.com/journal/Return-of-Aumatterasu-265913790

It has been heated discussion and now it has culminated to him banning me.<br /><br />Which is fine, I really don't care, although I am a bit peeved that he still uses censorship &nbsp;to silence the people who disagree with him.

Hope you had merry holidays.<br /><br />2010, what a year it was. After much thinking, procrastinating and more thinking I decided to take a breather from my Geology/Paleontology studies and see if I could get a job as a graphic designer or illustrator. Don't get me wrong. I want to be a paleontologist, no doubt about that. It's my dream and it has always been and I will NEVER let that go. But the reality is that there really isn't much job opportunities for paleontologists in Finland, so, being illustrator has always been my plan B. <br />I just want to test if I'm up to doing this stuff.<br />During last three months I have beeOh it's ON!

Around this spectacular footprint site, more than<br />220 life-sized dinosaur models are on display and all available fossil<br />material of the dwarfed sauropod Europasaurus holgeri is being<br />prepared at this location as well.<br /><br />We are currently planning a new exhibit on Europasaurus holgeri and as<br />an paleoart theft!http://dinomaniac.deviantart.com/journal/paleoart-theft-223435706

I think I have learned thing or two and I'm eager to put those few learned tricks to use. Only problem is that I'm overthinking my next painting. The best pieces I have done were done on impulse. Meaning that I have a critter I want to depict and idea how I want it to look and then just do it. When I start to overthink things it all gets muddled...I just can't decide and it's frustrating.<br /><br />I need some ideas to get the creative juices going.
